DesiderataGo placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story.Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass.Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be cheerful.Strive to be happy.Written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920sto us;'it's not always rainbows and butterflies,it's compromise that moves us along'this is what together feels like. let's all lead by example :D

yo yo aries!
ok.. we have taken over... we need to have more responsibility, and...etc.. set a good example..
Aries! up coming ahead will have a lot of stuff... so, we must work together! join...
aries... let's bring up cedar NP! up uP UP! we can do it! We must bring up the standard! And maintain it!
Aries! let's make an
impact on the cadets! like how our past ma'ams did..
Aries! Our cadet life has just ended… now is only 1 yr of NCO life… left one yr of cedar np life.. we have a lot to do! We must do it!
Aries… REMEMBER the cadet times we had, as one,whole. REMEMBER what we have learnt.. now it’s time to pass it on.. we must make good use of time now. Sometimes can just be paranoid and just go do it, it’s better then assumptions..
We must teach the cadets well, and make sure that the future of cedar np under them will be well.
Aries, now is the time we really REALLY have to work as ONE! WHOLE! ALL 28! Not a single one to be left out.. and pls, don assume that one is not left out. Check! 28 must remain as 28! And pls too,don hurt ur sqdmates. Sometimes ur words will hurt them.. just be friendly and look OPENLY! Being a NCO is everything.. we don want our cadets to see an aries ma’am being left out/alone.. and we don want them to see some obvious cliques right? And pls don snap at ur sqdmates… that’s the thing.. ur words.. a NCO will THINK before u say anything or do anything. Think in every aspect. It’s most important.
And aries pls not be selfish anymore.. THINK for OTHERS! Both ur sqdmates and the cadets! Don always assume that u have thought enough, think deeper.. don always just blame ur sqdmate for something, it may not be totally her fault.. sometimes there's a lot more other reasons. be nice to evry single sqdmate. Ur other 27! Make their last yr of cedar np life happy, but not with loneliness.
Aries work as one,not only in a department. Include everybody. Give a thought of whatever ur sqdmate says, they may have a point. Consider everything. Don reject them.
Pull every single one along. Don leave anyone behind. Don EVER think that ur sqdmate is a nuisance or get irritated by them. NCO must be tolerant.
We took over as one. We work as one. We think as one. Nxt yr, we will pass out as one.
REMEMBER, don be selfish. Don like "hey this is MY sqd. I'm taking it. 'shoo!'" no such thing is going to happen. And no "I am tired..etc..only you can help me." There’s lots more other choices.. think.. thinking is v important.. fine,I've repeated so many times.
Being a good NCO is important.. ur sqdmate is the most important. If u cant care for her, u cannot care for other. Imagine 1 of ur sqdmate gone forever,even the most left out at times one. How would u feel? Nothing? No it must not be, and it should not be.
So I think u all should have got what I trying to say.
Sorry this "lecture" is like too long.. but hope u all bare with me.. this is v important. It doesn"t matter sacrificing a little bit right? No matter in what circumstances, for ur sqdmate.
Ok. I think I shall end here. Or else whole lot of u will come and heck me. Ah!
-ARIES can do it!
Aries will do it!
Aries must do it!
Yeh..
Beliefs..
Staying anonymous means don want people to know.
